Page.getContent() returning wrong page content - sending email from a VF page with attachment

Having some problems with sending an attachment via email from a VF page-  I'm instantiating a second page (Page B) from within a first (Page A), and setting the email body to PageB.getContent().  However, it seems the getContent() function is returning the Page A, and not Page B. 

 

I also have a link to Page B from Page A, and this renders/outputs properly.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

 

...
PageReference excelPage = Page.PAGE B;
		excelPage.getParameters().put('year', selectedYear);
		excelPage.setRedirect(true);
		
		String fileName = 'foo.xls';
		
        //Prepare attachment to quote        
        Messaging.EmailFileAttachment emailAttachment = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
        emailAttachment.setFileName(fileName);
        emailAttachment.setBody(excelPage.getContent());
		
        emailMsg.setFileAttachments(new List<Messaging.EmailFileAttachment>{emailAttachment});
		
	Messaging.SendEmailResult[] sers = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {emailMsg});
